Bainbridge Island: A Ferry Ride from Seattle, a World Apart
Washington State Ferries operates a roughly 35-minute run between Seattle's Colman Dock and Eagle Harbor on Bainbridge Island, carrying more than six million passengers annually. The ferry terminal on the island's east side sits a short walk from Winslow, the main commercial district, which makes the island one of the few places in the region where commuting to downtown Seattle without a car is feasible. Residents routinely walk onto the boat, read for half an hour, and disembark in the central business district.
The island covers about 28 square miles and sits in Kitsap County. It has been inhabited for millennia by the Suquamish people, and Chief Seattle is buried at the Suquamish Memorial Cemetery across Agate Pass on the neighboring reservation. The Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial commemorates the 276 residents of Japanese descent who were the first in the United States to be forcibly removed to internment camps in March 1942.
The city of Bainbridge Island incorporated in 1991 through the consolidation of Winslow with the surrounding unincorporated area, making the city boundaries identical to the island itself. The Bainbridge Island Museum of Art opened in 2013 on a prominent corner near the ferry terminal. The Bloedel Reserve, a 150-acre estate with Japanese gardens and native forest, draws visitors from across the region.
Several hundred artists maintain studios on the island, and the Arts Walk events bring visitors to open studios twice a year. The island's working waterfront once included shipyards and lumber mills at Eagledale and Port Blakely, where the Port Blakely Mill was one of the largest sawmills in the world at the end of the nineteenth century.
